Modern day stock trading is heavily reliant on technology. A stock trader’s life is filled with computers and network communication machines. However, amidst the hustle and bustle of modern day equipment, lie 5 books on stock trading that promises to expand the knowledge and sharpen the expertise of any stock trader out there.

These are the words that Craig Fisher had to say about these 5 highly informative books.

“As my trading experience grows I am tending to read less stock market trading related books, but still enjoy doing so. In my formative years, I read as much as I could but still would not profess to having ‘read them all’ by any stretch of the imagination – far from it. As a beginner I tended to focus on the Australian share market and consequently Australian books.

It was probably also a function of price as they were significantly more affordable than those from the US. If I had my time over, I would research books a lot more and not let price be so much of a buying criteria, as my shelves are full of disappointing books that really don’t teach you much of what really matters”

Whether you’re a newcomer who has just entered the scene of stock trading or a veteran who has been enjoying success for decades, these 5 books are undoubtedly must reads. (The books have been listed in no particular order).
